First of all, it does not say or makes mentions or implies, that "christians will go to Hell" in these verses? Nor does it makes mention any where in the Holy Scriptures that a God who IS love (1John 5:8) will "burn" up people in a state of temporary torment, and the existence of a burning hell? (It is evident, that there is strong similarities exist between Islam and Catholicism. Both religions teach immortality of the human soul, a state of temporary torment, and the existence of a burning hell. Some thing the Inspired Scriptures (Bible) does not teach.)
This simple yet plain verse said that "unrighteous" shall not inherit God's kingdom. This allow us to see that ANY one, no matter your religion, (those professing to be worshipers of the true God) who are "not righteous" and practices such things according to (1 Cor.6:10) : "What! Do YOU not know that unrighteous persons will not inherit God’s kingdom? Do not be misled. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men kept for unnatural purposes, nor men who lie with men, nor thieves, nor greedy persons, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit God’s kingdom"
Death on the otherhand is non-existence. In otherwards, we cease to exist! The Scriptures helps us to see that more clearly when it says about the condition of the dead?
Eccl. 9:5: “The living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all.”
Ps. 146:4: “His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground; in that day his thoughts [“thoughts,” KJ, 145:4 in Dy; “all his thinking,” NE; “plans,” RS, NAB] do perish.”
John 11:11-14: “‘Lazarus our friend has gone to rest, but I am journeying there to awaken him from sleep.’ . . . Jesus said to them outspokenly: ‘Lazarus has died.’” (Also Psalm 13:3)
Where are the dead?
Gen. 3:19: “In the sweat of your face you will eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are and to dust you will return.”
Eccl. 9:10: “All that your hand finds to do, do with your very power, for there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol [“the grave,” KJ, Kx; “the world of the dead,” TEV], the place to which you are going.”
However, the scriptures promises that if we remain faithful and righteous, our Creatour, Jehovah-God will resurrect those doing his will. (Matt. 24:13) Who will be included in the earthly resurrection?
John 5:28, 29: “Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice [the voice of Jesus] and come out.” (The Greek word translated “memorial tombs” is not the plural form of ta´phos [grave, an individual burial place] or hai´des [gravedom, the common grave of dead mankind] but is the plural dative form of mne·mei´on [remembrance, memorial tomb]. It lays stress on preserving memory of the deceased person. Not those whose memory was blotted out in Gehenna because of unforgivable sins but persons remembered by God will be resurrected with the opportunity to live forever.—Matt. 10:28; Mark 3:29; Heb. 10:26; Mal. 3:16.)
Acts 24:15: “I have hope toward God . . . that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.” (Both those who lived in harmony with God’s righteous ways and people who, out of ignorance, did unrighteous things will be resurrected. The Bible does not answer all our questions as to whether certain specific individuals who have died will be resurrected. But we can be confident that God, who knows all the facts, will act impartially, with justice tempered by mercy that does not ignore his righteous standards. Compare Genesis 18:25.)
Rev. 20:13, 14: “The sea gave up those dead in it, and death and Hades gave up those dead in them, and they were judged individually according to their deeds. And death and Hades were hurled into the lake of fire. This means the second death, the lake of fire.” (So, those whose death was attributable to Adamic sin will be raised, whether they were buried at sea or in Hades, the common earthly grave of dead mankind.)

Who's going to pay for your sins? You've sinned against an infinite God, so the cost is infinite. Therefore doing good deeds to cancel your evil is nonsense. You are required to do good anyway.
Oh but God will just wink at your sins and say don't worry about it. Hmm such a God isn't worthy of worship as he is not just but capricious. He would have to either wink at everyone's sins, or no one's sins.
So I ask again, who is going to pay for your sins?

No real Christian is any of those things, if that's what you mean. Some people fake it, but others are real Christians.
By the way, Jesus is no prophet, he's God
and
Nobody's perfect, not even Christians.
